Best way to track a Peloton/Spinning workout

I am trying to find a better alternative to track using a spinning cycle than indoor biking. Indoor biking uses miles and average speed as the main displays for the activity, but those items aren't tracked thru the watch while using the Peloton/spinning. 

Is there something that can focus on calories and time, but still be labeled, and get tracking credit for, an indoor ride? With all of activity options we have I am surprised that spinning isn't one of them.

    Hello

    The best method for recording the cycling event on the Peloton would still be using the Indoor Bike activity. For this, you can set the HR from the watch to broadcast, so this can display on the bike. You can then use the data recorded on the Peloton to manually edit the activity, once it has been synced to Connect. With this, you can add you distance, speed etc. that was recorded on the Peloton. 

    To Edit the activity in Connect: 

    1. Open the Connect app
    2. Tap on More 
    3. Tap on Activities
    4. Tap on All activities
    5. Select the recently synced cycling activity
    6. Select the menu in the upper Right corner
    7. Select Edit Activity
    8. Enter the desired values
    9. Tap Save

    That's a lot of extra work relative to other activities that require none... It would be better if there was simply a spinning option for activities that didn't have speed/distance fields in the workout overview.
